Beschreibung

A paranormal investigation into the haunting of the infamous Borley Rectory and other chilling lore of England.   Built in 1863, the Gothic-style parish in the Essex village of Borley gained a nerve-jangling notoriety. Claims of apparitions, unexplained footsteps, and a phantom carriage that rode the grounds after dark, made the mansion as forbidding to locals as it was a draw to ghost hunters. Even after it was destroyed, the unexplainable terrors of what was known as “the most haunted house in England” continued.   Borley House is just one of the legends featured in this compendium of the supernatural phenomena occurring for centuries on the Essex/Suffolk border. Psychic investigator Wesley Downes also explores the mysterious “Sweeps Boy” of Dedham; the vanishing island off Manningtree; the ghosts of Thorington Hall and the White Hart Hotel in Nayland; the strange visitations in Capel St. Mary; and the restless spirit of Matthew Hopkins, the sadistic 17th century Witchfinder General who still haunt the countryside. And many more.The Ghosts of Borley is part of The Paranormal, a series that resurrects rare titles, classic publications, and out-of-print texts, as well as publishes new supernatural and otherworldly ebooks for the digital age. The series includes a range of paranormal subjects from angels, fairies, and UFOs to near-death experiences, vampires, ghosts, and witchcraft.

    Agincourt (1415) is an exceptionally famous battle, one that has generated a huge and enduring cultural legacy in the six hundred years since it was fought. Everybody thinks they know what the battle was about. 
     
      
     
    But why and how has Agincourt come to mean so much, to so many? Why do so many people claim their ancestors served at the battle? Is the Agincourt of popular image the real Agincourt, or is our idea of the battle simply taken from Shakespeare's famous depiction of it? Written by the world's leading expert on the battle, this book shows just why it has occupied such a key place in English identity and history in the six centuries since it was fought, exploring a cultural legacy that stretches from bowmen to Beatles, via Shakespeare, Dickens, and the First World War. 
     
     
     
    Anne Curry first sets the scene, illuminating how and why the battle was fought, as well as its significance in the wider history of the Hundred Years War. She then takes the Agincourt story through the centuries from 1415 to now, from the immediate, and sometimes surprising, responses to it on both sides of the Channel, through its reinvention by Shakespeare in King Henry V (1599), and the enduring influence of both the play and the film versions of it, especially the patriotic Laurence Olivier version of 1944, at the time of the D-Day landings in Normandy.

    Discourse on Method is a philosophical and autobiographical work by the French philosopher René Descartes. It was published in 1637 and is considered one of the most influential works in the history of modern Western philosophy. 
    The main purpose of Discourse on Method is to outline Descartes' method of systematic doubt and his search for certain knowledge. Descartes was skeptical of traditional sources of knowledge, such as authority, tradition, and sensory experience, and believed that true knowledge could only be obtained through reason and intuition. 
    In the work, Descartes also presents his famous dictum "Cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am"), which he uses as the starting point for his philosophy. He argues that the very act of thinking proves one's existence, and that this provides a firm foundation for all knowledge. 
    Discourse on Method is also notable for its contributions to the development of analytical geometry, as Descartes uses his method to develop a new system of algebraic notation and a way to graph equations. 
    Overall, Discourse on Method is an important work in the history of philosophy and science, and its influence can still be seen in contemporary debates about the nature of knowledge and the role of reason in human understanding.
